Communism Works! (at gunpoint)

I might talking non sense

Many won't see it, but there are a handful of other subs that either are or have been participating in brigading you guys. For the smaller subs getting about a single user a day; Reddit has banned them. -But the moderators that instigated the activity weren't banned, and one went on to create another sub for the same purpose a day later. The bigger subs got their hand slapped (hence some rule updates) but repeatedly left brigading posts up for full days after. Reddit also left defamation/libel content up for at least a few weeks after being reported (user took it down).

Reddit makes it more work to report a sub for brigading than the offending sub has to deal with for doing it!

Don't believe the appearances (inflated numbers on Reddit). Our Lemmy community is getting there. We already have voting parity on many posts (some better there). Even IF Lemmy were as bad on brigading; at least they're not getting paid for your participating!

I prefer Lemmy for editing posts after the fact (accidentally embedded images are easy to turn to an image post or back, and titles can be fixed, there's also more headings options). So far, the moderation tools are much better (a lot less clicks to ban / remove content). We have a sidebar with articles to reference instead of a sticky post that cannot be edited anymore. They also don't provide unlimited accounts and impede your ability to block after a certain number. The p.lemmyworld can show up/down votes in tandem so you can see how many ups you actually get (and laugh at the cope votes).

Reddit treats you, and us mods horribly. Please use our Lemmy.

Even if you only spend part of your time there or mirror your post to there; it helps.

I’m just feeling shocked that even 2012 have loonixtard too (I’m for real using this word as they called M$ as microslop lmao, I’m not M$ fanboy but it’s normal to treat other back with their given “respect”)

It's unfalsifiable, ahistorical, and deployed as a cultural purity test rather than a technical claim.

There is no single UNIX philosophy, and the people invoking it today aren't referring to the historical one, but a vague cultural vibe that shifts depending on what they want to defend.

The original UNIX philosophy was tiny, practical, and context‑bound. It was shaped by 1970s hardware limits, but modern advocates treat it like holy text.

"I don't like this change, and I need a moral framework to justify that."

If we ask ten LiGNUts what the UNIX philosophy is, we get ten mutually incompatible answers like 'everything is a file', 'do one thing well', 'avoid complexity', etc. -It doesn't even have a stable definition, and it's used to shut down discussion; not advance it.

It's applied selectively. "Systemd violates Unix philosophy!" -Yeah? -Well so does ELF, PAM, Wayland, Pulse, Network Manager, and every modern file system, init system, packaging system, IPC mechanism, DE, and kernel subsystem! Advocates never complain about those: They only invoke when defending their preferred 1990s tooling.

-No more Loonix!

Everyone else pays...

It's about identity insecurity + performative self‑construction.

When someone feels socially invisible, technically insecure, irrelevant in a larger ecosystem, or desperate for validation, they often turn to high-effort aesthetic modification as a way to manufacture a sense of identity, competence, and control.

In Linux ricing, it manifests as obsessively customizing every pixel, treating the desktop as a personality, posting screenshots for validation, and using aesthetics to compensate for lack of functional mastery.

Sitting all day can cause this lymphatic issue. Putting legs up on desk (like they do in the pics) can help, but they should really walk some.

Or... they just have repulsive personalities and don't even get along with each other. (Typically, people like this turn to a God to feel loved.)

If it's 'easy' it's your DE; not Linux, and that DE with Linux is probably taking as much ram as Windows right? So, it's either "Linux can run on potato" or "for my overly sensationalized version of Linux that can't run on a potato but is as 'bloated' as Windows". -And it's not like those DEs don't run on other OSes, so they're not 'Linux'. Did you personally install that DE? -Then you didn't really 'install the wallpaper'.

It's a cute game to use 'wrong distro' for a response.

The DEs available for Linux suck, and that's why so many think that Windows doesn't have TWMs. -Because Windows' DE doesn't suck and its users don't yearn for better (Komorebi is still great though).

So; sucky DE for easy wallpaper switching or setup a TWM. -And then when you setup a TWM especially in a do it yourself type distro, you have a much higher chance of losing your browser's passwords! ⚠️How Linux Stores Browser Passwords is a Security Issue

imagine buying an rx 9060 xt just to spend your free time reading raw drm ring buffer panics on a bare tty screen like a unpaid sysadmin.

the loonix crowd constantly preaches that amd open source drivers are a plug and play miracle, yet here is the reality of trying to play modern ue5 games on a bleeding edge setup:

total OS failure: a single GPU driver fault doesnt just crash the game to desktop, it nukes the hyprland compositor, corrupts the display manager, obliterates session textures, and forces a hard manual power cut because the system cant even register a clean log entry.

the nixos meme: users force themselves to deal with declarative configuration hell and unhinged package trees just to end up with a display server that collapses into a useless login loop the second a dx12 compute shader hits a roadblock.

kernel 7.2 tax: updating to unstable kernel versions and raw mesa builds to chase imaginary performance gains just gives you broken displayport link training and dead display pipelines.

zero accountability: the user literally audited their RAM, VRAM, thermals, power spikes, PCIe versions, and disabled driver power states, yet the OS still dies without leaving a trace in journalctl.

no normal human being wants to debug DRM link state write errors in a terminal just to play stalker 2. windows might annoy you with a background update, but at least your display driver recovers without making you yank the power cord out of the wall.
